Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My belief is that yoga is for everybody; being "plus size" myself I am a testament to that. First, I listen to what the student's expectations and concerns are. I then might suggest a one to one lesson, however, most students join a group class due to our style of building the pose from the ground up.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have received my 200hr. yoga certification and my 30hr. Yin yoga certification from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Ayuveda. I also have my certificate in Jin Shin Jyutsu (Japanese harmonizing art).
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I advise that a student try a class with an instructor more than once. Yoga is a very personal practice and you are receiveing a lot of information in your first class: the room itself, the time of day, and the instructor. Each instructor comes with their own experience and their own practice, so taking an instructor's class a few times will give you a true idea if that instructor is right for you. Be open to the trying a few different types of yoga. And remember we are all human, an off day is bound to happen.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A yoga instructor is not a doctor however, they should be aware if you have any medical issues. High blood pressure for example can be affected by certain yoga poses. Your instructor should know of any joint replacements and any surgeries within the last six months.
